Memorial cross for Probationary Flight Officer Francis Titcomb (the Swinsty Cross)

The Egton stone memorial stands on Castle Hill on the moors overlooking Egton Bridge to the north and Beck Hole to the east, approximately 600m to the east of two Grade II-listed waymarkers on the Stape to Egton Road and Stape to Grosmont Road. It takes the form of a cross, reputedly based on the design of a wayside cross near Vittel in the Vosges (France). A blind wheel-head cross, bearing the figure of Christ crucified, rises from the stepped capital of a tapering column, square on plan. The column base is a cube which has raised panels carved on three sides with, to the front, a panel with the only inscription, reading KF/ 1929. The cross stands on a stone base, with a slightly projecting cornice to the front only. The base is mounted on a square platform.
